To ensure clear and accurate communication, just a friendly reminder about the agency’s Process for Responding to Media and Information Requests from legislators, the media and the public. Please follow these steps if you receive an inquiry:
Legislative, FOIA or public requests
Forward all requests from legislators, legislative staff, or citizens to Beth Strike, Director of Communications & Creative Services, immediately. FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests should also be sent to Beth.
Media inquiries
If a reporter contacts you for a statement, interview, or information, do not respond directly. Let them know you will connect them with the right contact. Notify Beth Strike right away.
Why this matters
Following this process ensures:
- Consistent and accurate messaging.
- Compliance with legal guidelines.
- Protection of the agency’s reputation
If you have any questions, please reach out to Beth Strike. You can also refer to Board Policies Series 700 – General Public Relations, which outlines guidelines for external communications and public information. Thanks for your cooperation!
